I'liultrr Notes.
Egg layers will from now on begin to
ncresse their UllllV coniriuiiuon iu mc
wealth of the owner, and it is important
that the hens should be aided and nbet-
tl in tbia work as much as possible.
As soon as cold weather leaves us, the
hens seem to regain their accustomed
nnarer of laving eggs regularly, but as a
riil it is onlv the weather and not the
treatment which makes them do this.
There is, however, a way of helping the
hens in this good work, and no poultry
man should neglect it. Man and licast
alike need a change of food and treat
ment in the snring of the vear, for the
conditions oi life change with the sea
sons. From close, confining work we go
to labor in the open air. and from heavy,
greasy food we go to light vegetables or
Iruits. mere is peeuiui a cowpicie
change in the whole system, and many
take hood purilieru at this season of the
yeor.
In the same way the hens require new
tuft IkwIh Thev are supposed to produce
more eggs, and they do this, but t he
work cannot be kept up miles their sys
tems are amply supplied with egg-pro
ducing material. The warm, genial
weather is stimulating to them, and in
duces them to lay, but they must have
the material to do the work, otherwise
they will wear their systems out in do
ing nothing. Eggs cannot be produced
unless the hens have sufficient lime in
their bodies to form the shells. Ground
lione and oyster shells are given to the
nckens now by nearly all poullrymen;
but at this season of the vear the quan
tities should be doubled, lho grams
will not sutlice now, hut the lime con
tained in the ground lione, shells and
such material is essential. They will
not only stimulate the hens in laying,
but they will give the right materials to
them to make eggs. The hens should
also be accustomed to their new food.
Thev should be turned out to range
gradually end not allowed to run about
ii" much" as they please the first day.
This extra exercise, which has lieen de
nied them all winter, will consume a
great amount of force, anil much of the
mineral element contained in their food
will have to go toward forming new tis
sue. This makes it all the more essen
tial that thev should have more shells
and ground bone. This is a work which

Potato Culture.
It is very important to give thorough
cultivation in order to secure a good
growth. It is very important to give
clean cultivation from the start, mid
generally, if this be done, the soil will
be in good tilth. It is necessary that the
cultivation be commenced early, so that
tho weeds can be kept down, and the
earlier it is commenced after the seed is
planted the easier tho work can be done.
Potatoes are nearly always planted in
drifts, and the cultivation "is given only
one way, and it requires careful work to
give thorough cultivation without hoe
ing. One of the advantages in preparing
tne sou in a good tilth before planting
the seed is that the cultivation can lie
commenced much earlier than would
otherwise be possible. Under average
conditions the best implement to com
mence tlie cultivation is the harrow, and
in a nmiority of cases it can bo used
within ten days at least after planting
wun goou results, l'otatoes are slow to
germinate, and to let the soil remain un
disturbed until the plants show above
ground the weeds are sure to get a good
start, which will require considerable
hard work to clear out. Very often three
harrowings can be given with profit, and
then the cultivator can be used. At first
it will lie the best to work reasonably
deep and close to the plants, but eaeli
subsequent cultivation should be shal
lower and farther away from the roots.
While the cultivation may be continued
after the tubers begin to "grow, vet care
should be taken only to work the surface
so as not to disturb the roots. Unless
the soil is more than usually freo from
weeds, it will be necessary to hoe once
or twice in order to give clean cultiva
tion. The cost of hoeing will be more
than made up by the lietter growth and
yield and the lessened work at harvest
ing.
Under ordinary conditions the soil
should lie kept level in cultivating-.
There is no advantage in hilling no,
while in a drv season the plants will
suiter more for want of moisture than if
the soil is kept level. Keeping the soil
level and in a good tilth, stirring fre
quently, aids materially in retaining
moisture in the soil, so that in whatmav
be termed the dry season a grow ing crop
will sutler less if 'the soil is kept level
than if it is hilled up. There is also the
additional advantage o leing able to re
pent the cultivation as often as may be
necessary. When hoeing is necessary
it will be found a good plan to cultivate
thoroughly, and then hoe out carefully
between tlie rows, thus lessening the
work very materially. If done in good I
season, two harrowings, three workings

be all that is necessary, although in
weedy soil it may be necessary to hoe
twice, and it la better to give the extra
hoeing than to allow the weed tn mnlrft
a good growth. In addition to lessening
the growth and yield, weeds interfere
considerably with the work of digging

The llaby King of Spln.
Little Alfonso XIII, king of Spain,
whose fifth birthday will lie celebrated
in May, leads the most joyless life im
aginable. He is sensitive and sickly,
lie is frequently taken down with vio
lent attacks of colic, which last for days
and shake his tiny weak body into a con
dition of pitiable thinness. Consequent
ly he is undersized, white and languid.
His mother coddles him and watches
him so closely that he rarely, if ever, has
an opportunity for a bit of boy's play or
other healthful exercise. He posses only
one hour daily iu the open air, and this
by the side of his mother in the royal
carriage. Occasionally lie is allowed to
leave the carriage and walk in the park
sedately in the society of his nnrse, bis
r-nglish governess and the Conntess of
Peralta.
The people of Madrid say that the total
of the ages of these three companions is
100 years. 1 he Countess of Peralta is at
least ninety, mid waa the head governess
of little Alfonso's father very many
years before the miniature king was
dreamed of. At all events, it is certain
that the royal companions, with their
100 years, frown on ull royal cajiere, for
the occasional attempts of their puny
charge to run or jump or throw stones
are suppressed with military prompt
ness. Once in two weeks the son of the Duke
of Cusa-Jrnj is commanded to the palace
to play with his sovereign, but there is
little or no benefit in this for Alfonso
XIII, since the three women of the 100
years are with the children constantly
to prevent all boyish exuberance. So
the small, unhappy sovereign worries
along his narrow royal wav with a bur
den of childish misery that has rendered
him prematurely sad and indifferent.-.
